This wine needed a few minutes and some swirling before it began in blossom into a pretty floral and fruit perfume of lilacs, red cherries and crushed raspberries with a slightly wild, meaty / earthy undercurrent. Medium bodied, it really delivers in the mouth with elegant but intense flavors, crisp acid, medium-firm very fine-grained tannins and a long finish.
Plumper than the Vosne 1er Cru, displaying cherry and a hint of herbaceous vegetal notes. Has yet to absorb the wood, making this a little chunky for now. Fine length.
